I prefer alky to Pro also, but Jim, is there a "tune" that needs to be changed about the ally cars running at Epping (nat. event) or is it just skipped out based on the rotation of LODRS classes this year? There is Comp this year, while there was not last year.
Ok, that would make sense. Unfortunately, though it's my closest national event, timing has been terrible for me to make it yet, so I hadn't known there had be no alky cars at all, so far. Arnie Martel had to lobby pretty hard to get Comp included this year (which worked out pretty well for him, haha). Perhaps the TAFC and TAD membership of SRAC can try to do the same.My understanding is that pit parking at Epping is extremely limited. The Alky cars have not run at the National Event in Epping since it was added to the schedule (nor have the Pro Mods), so this really shouldn't be a surprise that they aren't running there this year.

BINGO !!I asked some of the locals up there, the word going around was that the Div. 1 race up there gets really good crowds at Epping every year! And the Track Owner/Promotor thought adding the Alcohol classes to the Nat. event would hurt attendance!
My problem is no alcohol cars at Atlanta, Bristol, Englishtown and Epping and some other big events.
It sad to see happening and I believe someday the same tracks and promoters will ask them to return as the show get's worse and attendance falls off even further then it already has.
